We have received from the State Treasurer on account of
salary of the Superintendent of Schools $517.26, from tuition
of non-resident pupils $123.00, and for books and supplies sold
$11.84, leaving net cost of maintaining schools $13,073.13, and
in this amount is included for repairs $1,304.51, the greater
part of which was spent for re-modeling heating plant in the
South School Building. During the summer vacation the
heating plant at the South School Building was thoroughly
overhauled, separate brick ventilating flues were constructed
from each room through the roof of the building, and two
12
furnaces were installed in a tempering chamber in the base-
ment, supplying, we believe, ample heat and fresh air for the
comfort and health of the scholars.
During the fall term on account of the small attendance in
the first grade at the North Building we were able to main-
tain a kindergarten for children under five years of age for
afternoon sessions. This was discontinued during the winter
term on account of the severe weather but we hope to start
it again during the spring term.
The number of teachers now employed is the same as one
year ago, making upon our rolls eighteen teachers, the super-
intendent and three janitors.
On account of change in laws at the last session of the leg-
islature the legal school year does not now close' until June
30th. At that time the superintendent's report together
with school statistics has to be made up and will be printed
and distributed.
One year ago the school tax rate was reduced from seventy
cents on the dollar to sixty-five cents on the dollar and we
still have on hand sufficient money to defray expenses of the
spring term, and we recommend that the same tax be raised
as the past year, sixty-five cents on the dollar of the grand
list

Health Officer's Report
During the past year there have been extensive epidemics
of Chicken Pox, Whooping Cough and Scarlet Fever. The
two former diseases spread among the younger school child-
ren and the Primary Grades have been more or less broken
up by their presence the past winter. The epidemic of Scar-
let Fever has been the most extensive one in recent years.
While it is now apparently under control, only the greatest
care in the future to report any suspicious cases of sickness in
a household will eventually rid us of this dread disease.

The regular annual inspection of dairies was made by the
Board of Health last April. Four licenses to sell milk and
cream were granted at that time. During the year samples
of the milk were sent to Burlington on live different occas-
ions. The results of those analyses were published in the
State “Bulletin” and need no comment here.
Regular quarterly examinations of the water supply have
been made. All the reports showed the water to be free
from contamination.
Twelve inspections of unsanitary conditions have been
made and nuisances abated.
During the year 45 deaths have occurred in Proctor, thirty-
five permits issued for interment in Proctor cemetery, and
fifteen for removal to other towns.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. HACK.

We have received from the State Treasurer $2,135.90 which
is our portion of the State School Funds ; $506.47, our portion
of the salary of our Union Superintendent; $273.00, for
tuition ; $13.54, incidental receipts— leaving net cost of con-
ducting schools of $9,584.00.
Owing to change in the law the Village Books are now
closed earlier and the present summary covers a period of
about eleven months.
We are required by law to print and distribute a complete
school report in July so the present report is only a summary
of expenses.

Owing to the congested condition of our primary grades
it has been necessary to rent additional space and secure an
additional teacher. In order that the primary grades have
sufficient room to accomodate all pupils a new building is nec-
essary snd we would reccomend that a new two room build-
ing be provided on the East Side of the Village for this pur-
pose. The estimated cost of the new building and land is
about Five Thousand Dollars.
We reccomend a tax of Sixty-two Cents on the dollar of the
Grand List be raised for school purposes.

Report of Prudential Committee
We have drawn orders for the year ending February 15,
1915, amounting to $23,647.28. Of the above amount $6,173.81
has been expended for construction of new school building on
East Street and $596.75 for grounds for same and grading.
This is somewhat larger than preceding years. The report for
the year closing February 15, 1914, covered only a period of
eleven months on account of the fiscal year having to close
earlier than formerly. The sub division of the amount ex-
pended is as follows:

We have received from the State Treasurer our portion' of
the state school fund $348.46, our portion of the salary of the
Union Superintendent $617.49, from tuition $193.00, books
sold and incidental receipts $87.38. The amount received from
the State Treasurer as our portion of the state school fund is
much less than preceding year. This is occasioned by the cur-
rent school expenses being less than 50% of the grand list.
The school report will be printed and distributed at the
close of the school year in July.
On account of the increased expense and not having enough
money now in the Treasury to run through the spring term we
recommend that a tax of 70c on the dollar of the grand list be
raised for school purposes.

Auditors’ Report
As Auditors for the year ending February 15, 1915, we
respectfully submit our report as below. We have examined
the orders of the Trustees and the Prudential Committee and
the vouchers of your Treasurer, and we find the financial con-
dition of the village as follows:
Resources
Surplus in school fund $1,478 54
Surplus in water and sewer fund 3,233 15
Total resources $4,711 69
Liabilities
Deficit in general fund $2,609 98

terest at 3 per cent 77,000 00

Net liabilities $88,742 14
From the above figures it will be seen that the village debt
has been decreased by the payment of a temporary loan of
$5,000 and one water and sewer bond of $1,000, leaving a debt
February 15, 1915, of $90,677.40.
We recommend a tax of seventy (70) cents to defray current
school expenses; also a village tax of twenty (20) cents to defray
current expenses, interest and a portion of the village debt.

Repiort of Prudential Committee
On account of change in the laws it is now necessary to close
our school account January 31st, and for the year ending on
that date we have drawn orders amounting to $15,878.45. The
subdivision of the amount expended is as follows:

We have received from the State Treasurer as our share
of the State School Fund $570.94, also as our portion of the
salary of the Union Superintendent $615.63. We have received
for tuition $16.00 and for books and supplies sold $204.44.
The item of school furniture consists mainly of the amount
paid for twenty-five new desks for the commercial department.
Since the closing of our accounts we have paid to the town
of Pittsford for tuition of scholars living at the north end of
the town $140.00. This bill was not received in time to get it
into our accounts for the year.
On account of the new school law we will receive very little
assistance hereafter from the State School Fund, the same being
largely used in the rural schools.
Because of the crowded condition of the high school it was
necessary to employ an additional teacher at the beginning of
the fall term. It seems necessary that arrangements be made
for a new high school building and we recommend the erection
of a new high school building, and estimate the cost of same
to be about $50,000.
We recommend that a tax of 70c on the dollar of the grand
list be raised for school purposes.
The school report will be printed and distributed at the
end of the school year in July.

Trustees’ Report
Water and Sewer Systems
The only extension of the water system made this year
has been on Hospital Hill. The object was partly to provide
service for the isolation hospital and the residence of M. R.
Proctor and partly to improve the system by connecting a
dead end that existed at the comer of Oak Street and Warner 1
Ave. Two new hydrants were installed and the pressure has
been greatly improved.
Considerable money has been expended on the sewer
crossing the sand meadows East of the Vermont Marble Com**
pany’s mill. It is probable that during next Summer, part
of this line will have to be reconstructed. Both the water
and sewer systems have reached such an age that the cost
of repairs is likely to increase somewhat each year.
Village Debt,
The debt has been reduced $3,000 during this year by tbe
payment of three water and sewer bonds. It would have been
possible to pay off an additional thousand dollars of indebted-
ness but in view of the fact that the Village will soon be
obliged to borrow money to pay for the new High School,
very little interest would have been saved. The trustees de-
cided, therefore, to transfer one thousand dollars from the
Water and Sewer Account to that of the Prudential Committee.
s
Sidewalks,
The Trustees feel that a definite plan of sidewalk con-
struction should he adopted covering all streets where lines
and grades are likely to be permanent; and that a reasonable
4
amount of new walk should be built each year. With this
in view, a survey has already been made from McGarry’s
crossing to the Catholic Church. Some construction work
would have been done in the Fall of 1916, had it not been for
the shortage of labor.
Internal Revenue Tax on Village Hall.
The Trustees have this year encountered an unexpected
item of expense in that the Village of Proctor has been held
liable for tax as the proprietor of a theatre. A previous in-
terpretation of the Internal Revenue Act had led the Trustees
to understand that the Village was not liable and, therefore,
no returns had been made. The Village thus became liable
tc fines and this, together with back taxes, amounted to the
sum of $262.50, which has been paid under protest. The
necessary steps have been taken to secure a refund if this is
possible.
Appointments.
On account of the absence or removal from the Village of
the three auditors elected March 28, 1916, the Trustees have
appointed Messrs. A. R. Patterson, J. E. Horan and J. F.
Townsend to fill out the unexpired terms.
Mr. James T. Glasson, Village Clerk, resigned on MJarch
8th and the Trustees appointed Mr. Charles E Holden to fill
.out the unexpired term.

Report of the Prudential Committee
For Year Ending January 31, 1917
On account of change in the laws it is now necessary to
close our school account January 31st, and for the year end-
ing on that date we have drawn orders amounting to
$19,605.57. The sub-division of the amount expended is as
follows:
We have received from the State Treasurer as our share
of the State School Fund $53.55, for tuition $8.00 and for
books and supplies sold $180.07. Rent on school lands in
arrears for five years- $48.90.
On account of the new school law we will receive very
little assistance hereafter from the State School Fund, the
same being largely used in the rural schools.
We recommend that a tax of 75c on the dollar of the grand
list be raised for school purposes.
* The school report will be printed and distributed at the
end of the school year in July.

On account of the increased surplus in the school fund
and the retirement of $3,000.00 water and sewer bonds, the
financial condition of the village has improved to this extent
and the debt has been reduced to $76,212.63.
We recommend a tax of 75c to defray school expenses,
also a village tax of 20c. to defray current expenses, interest
and a portion of the village debt.

Construction of New High School Bldg.
51,540 34
Total
$75,180 28
The new High School building has been nearly completed
imd in use since the middle of December. The cost of the new
12
building for the year is included in the year’s expense and then,,
for everyone’s information, the total cost of the new building
to date, including expenditures in 1916 and 1917, is shown in
a later account.
In the old High School building there were some changes
and repairs made to accommodate the new Junior High School,
and this is now running smoothly under the direction of Miss
Kidder, with the assistance of Miss Serri, Miss Mason and Ml-.
Burke. On account of our maintaining a Junior High School
under State regulations we will receive some money assistance
from the State.
The old furnaces at the South School were worn out so that
it was necessary to install a new heating system and it was
decided to put in steam at an expense of $2,400. This system
is now completed and working well.
On account of the shortage of coal the State Superin-
tendent of Schools ordered the schools closed from the Christ-
mas vacation until January 14th. To further conserve the coal
your committee decided to close the Bast School and transfer
these scholars to the South School and move one grade from
the South School to the old High School building.
We have received for books and supplies sold $231.36, for
tuition $24.00, and for scrap iron sold $26.00.
We recommend a tax of 80 per cent, on the Grand List for
school purposes.

We find that all orders of the Prudential Committee drawn
during the year ending Jan. 31, 1918, have been paid by the
Treasurer except order No. 5603 for-$3.08. Besides, the Treas-
urer has paid orders drawn since the close of the school account
to March 6th amounting to $2,981 03.
We concur in the recommendation made by the Prudential

of the Trustees, a village tax of 15c to defray current expenses,
interest and a portion of the village debt.

On account of the influenza epidemic in September the
schools were closed for several -weeks by order of the State
Board of Health but they are now running well and making
up some of the lost time.
The new high school has been finally completed and we
have secured settlement with all the contractors. We give
following a complete account of the expenditures for the new
11
building. Tbe figures as given include an expenditure for
furniture of $2,357.78, which deducting from the total leaves
the cost of new building at $60,432.87.
Receipts from books and supplies sold $174.92, from tuition
$40.00, from State (Educational) $1,863.33. $544.09 of the
money received from the State should have been applied on
the previous year but was received too late to get into our
report.
We recommend a tax of 85% on the Grand List for school
purposes.

Report of the Prudential Committee
For the Year Ending January 31, 1920
The year 7 s expenses on orders of the Prudential Committee
are sub-divided as follows:
Expenditures
Instruction $17,675 98
Music and drawing 1,400 00
Superintendent of schools 46 01
Janitor 1,897 50
Text books 618 98

The schools have been opened since September without the
usual interruption from epidemics.
Our schools have been for about ten years in what is called
' the Rutland Northeast School District under one superintendent
who had charge of four towns, viz., Rutland, Pittsford, Chittenden
and Proctor. At the suggestion of the State Commissioner of
Education we changed from that plan and we now have no direct
11
connections with the superintendents of these other towns but
are under our own supervisor who is also our principal with the
title of Supervising Principal. This plan seems to work very
wdl and under the arrangement with the State Commissioner we
pay part and the State pays part of our Supervisor’s salary.

We secured this year a special instructor in manual training
.and to assist in the boys 7 athletics and this plan seems to be pro-
(lucing good results. The manual training is, as far as possible,
along practical lines and along with other work the boys have
recently adapted the high school hall to basket ball.
■ There was also secured an assistant in charge of typewriting
in the commercial course and the results from this addition are
very gratifying.
f l Ihe Prudential Committee and teachers appreciate the great
assistance that Cavendish House is to the schools and to the
community. The work of the public health nurse is helpful
m preventing the spread of epidemics. This year there are en-
rolled at Cavendish House 103 pupils and they are given in-
nl ruction for 56 periods of forty minutes each a week. If the
high school were to undertake an equivalent amount of instruct-
ion it would mean no small expenditure for teachers and equip-
ment, all of which are now provided at no expense to the school.

excelled in the state and a girl enrolled in any high school course
can take a course in home making each year for six years and still
prepare for college. The course of study prescribed by the
Vermont State Home Economics Department is closely followed,
thus making the work in Proctor uniform with that of the State.
Last year the grand list of the Town and Village was re-
duced J5,734.58, which reduced our school money $4,874.39 from
the amount voted. We have been obliged to increase our salary
list considerably and contemplate some further additions that will
increase this item of our expense about $7,000. There is a school
bond of $1,000, of the series issued for the new building, which is
due in April, and this amount together with the interest on
school bonds ($2,264.04) should be paid from school money.
Each year for the next eighteen years there will be three thousand
dollars in bonds to retire.
Having these facts before us, we request a tax of $1.20 be
raised for school purposes.

interest and a portion of the village debt.
